A woman used an emergency call to 112 while a sexual assault was allegedly happening during the night, leading police to arrest a 48-year-old man in Gallarate, Italy. According to the account, the woman was restrained and forced into a sexual act, but she managed to start the call from her phone, which had fallen to the floor. Police followed the live call through the phone network and confirmed the location in a second 112 call. The incident came to light on Thursday afternoon. When a police patrol reached the building, the 40-year-old woman ran barefoot toward an officer, asking to be saved. Officers went to the address and found the two occupants re-emerging from a cellar. Inside, police also recovered the woman’s personal items and objects used to smoke crack and to heat and consume heroin. The investigation described the setting where the couple lived as filthy and in disarray. The man was arrested on the order of the public prosecutor and was initially questioned in the presence of a lawyer. He reportedly said he insisted and that the woman did not want it, but that the assault was still carried out. The investigating judge ordered pre-trial detention, meaning the suspect remains in custody while further investigative steps are carried out. The woman received a hospital assessment with a prognosis of ten days. The case remains under investigation as police and prosecutors gather further details.
